Sengkang GRC has 126,641 voters, and its boundaries remain unchanged since the last election.

Dr Lam meanwhile said: "For the past four years, we have worked hard to earn back your trust. We want to be your voice in parliament."
In 2020, the PAP team was led by labour chief Ng Chee Meng, Dr Lam, Mr Amrin Amin and lawyer Raymond Lye. Mr Amrin and Mr Lye will not contest this election, while Mr Ng will stand in a Single Member Constituency - Jalan Kayu.
